will to power since everything in life is constantly reoccurring. There will be no instances of moments that the will to power will last permanently by itself since it will have to end and restart again from the view of eternal recurrence. The Nazi’s wanted a will to power that would last forever and not ever have to reoccur again and start over. They interpreted Nietzsche as an individual who advocated the will to power, where individuals use their expressive and aggressive will to claim power over others in the state. Hitler was the individual who used his will to claim power and subjugate his authority over the German people and the non-Germans.

Nietzsche in his writings never ventured into the idea of heroic realism, as he admired the Greeks there were Greek figures that he did not like such as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. Nietzsche’s writings were misinterpreted and falsified for the Nazi’s by Elizabeth and her conspirators who only falsified and edited certain writings of her brother that related to the Nazi ideology. Nietzsche was a non-fascist, not supportive of nationalism, and was against the purification of races since he advocated having diversity of races would be more ideal to have diversity of people of different backgrounds and cultures. As shown, the writings of the Nazi philosophers revealed discrepancies in Nietzsche’s main concepts to those with what the Nazi’s had and they glorified Nietzsche as a forerunner for the Nazi ideology. One of the horrors and travesties that occurred during the Third Reich was the Holocaust and the annihilation of inferior groups done by the hands of the Nazi’s.

Being human for the Nazi’s was the one closest to the Aryan and those who were not that individual were naturally weaker and ranked in a lower class of humans. The Nazi’s were influenced by the Eugenics movement and were influenced by social Darwinism as both these concepts aimed to produce the best breeding humans on the planet (Friedlander 4). In July 1933 the Nazi’s passed the sterilization law that introduced sterilization for people suffering from a variety of mental and physical disorders as these were the groups to be targeted to be removed from the national community (Friedlander 23). Assessing this from a psychological perspective, those with psychological disorders were not to be given help in the Nazi regime. Those in power claimed that these people were defective and unstable for the standards of the Aryan leaders. From sterilization studies and classification on a variety of psychological disorders from 1934-1936, men tended to receive more sterilizations but women died more in surgery from sterilizations as men and women were had similar results with regards to psychological disorders (Friedlander 29). The most common disorder that was exhibited between men
